Red wallpaper is for the rooms you want to make an impression. Warm, rich and full of character, it brings real energy and depth to a room, from soft, earthy terracotta to deep, wine-dark burgundy. This red wallpaper collection spans that whole range, across bold retro geometrics, hand-drawn florals, heritage damasks and textured stripes.
Red asks for a bit of confidence, and rewards it. A warm terracotta glows in the light; a deep burgundy wraps a room in something rich and grown-up.
Where red wallpaper works
Red wallpaper has a natural home in the rooms you want to feel warm and sociable. A classic red or deep burgundy is a traditional choice for a dining room, where it feels rich and convivial, and it makes a striking feature wall in a living room, hallway or study. Softer terracotta and rust shades bring a warm, earthy, Mediterranean feel that works beautifully in a kitchen, a bathroom or a sunny bedroom. Dusty mauve keeps things gentle and a little vintage. Red wallpaper pairs handsomely with cream, brass, forest green and navy, and a little of it goes a long way, so a single feature wall is often all a room needs.
Colours, from soft terracotta to deep burgundy
Colour has real range across red wallpaper, right through the warm-red family. It runs from soft, dusty mauve and warm terracotta and rust, the gentle, earthy end that glows rather than shouts, through true, classic red, to deep burgundy, wine and oxblood for real drama and depth. The warm terracottas feel sunny and grounded; the deep burgundies feel cocooning and rich. So there's a red wallpaper here whether you want an earthy, sunlit clay or a bold, dramatic wine. If you've a specific red in mind, the exact terracotta of your floor tiles or a paint you've already chosen, every design can be recoloured for free. Send me your paint code and I'll match the artwork to your room before it prints.
Made to order
Every red wallpaper design comes in peel and stick, traditional non-pasted and pre-pasted. All the patterns are original artwork, drawn by hand by Sara at Summer Skye Studio, printed to order on PVC-free paper.
Order a sample before you commit. Red is one of the boldest colours to bring home, and it behaves very differently in real light than on a screen: a warm terracotta can glow or turn muddy depending on the room, and a deep burgundy can read almost brown in low light. Seeing it on your own wall, in your own light, is the only way to be sure. Red wallpaper is worth trying before you buy.
